¶An analysis from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit that tracks misinformation, found that Elon Musk posted at least 87 claims this year about the U.S. election on X that fact-checkers have rated as false or misleading.  Those false and misleading posts have generated more than 2 billion views, and not just because Musk is an influential person. He has also been found to tweak X’s algorithms so his own posts reach everyone on the platform because apparently, having 203 million followers just isn’t enough.

¶Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter, so I guess that works out to $22 per view of his false and misleading posts. Hopefully by the end of today, he’ll realize how shitty of an investment that was.
